Synthesis and Characterization of Ceramic Powders and Single Crystals
Expert has used microencapsulation as a method to prepare multicomponent ceramic powders containing two to five components. He developed (and is in the process of patenting) the first dry microencapsulation process that also can be used as a granulation method.…
Food Engineering/Crystallization
Expert has been studying crystallization processes for the past 16 years with an emphasis on crystallization in foods. His current emphasis involves controlling crystallization (either promoting or preventing) of sugars, ice, and fats. This research involves both basic aspects of…
Materials Processing
SIZE REDUCTION OF SOLIDS; GRINDING (COMMINUTION). Expert (prefers "Expert") has spent a significant portion of his career in size reduction technology, chiefly involving himself with the identification, selection, and qualification of crushing, grinding, and milling processes. He has developed processes…
Chemical Engineering
Expert has taught a course in air pollution control at BYU about a dozen times in the past 22 years, a course which he organized. He has general experience in the design of air pollution control systems and has specific…
Electron Microscope, Light Microscopy, EBEAM Lithography and Nanofabrication, Scanning Electron
Expert has extensive experience in designing, implementing, troubleshooting, and interpreting experiments involving novel applications in all fields of biological microscopy (TEM, SEM). He also has expertise in confocal, fluorescence, DIC (Nomarski-Polarized), and other light microscopy techniques. His current work centers…
Colloids & Polymers
ANTIFOAMING AGENT; DEFOAMING; FOAMING; BUBBLES; BUBBLING. Expert spent three years developing novel silicone defoamers, for which he was awarded a patent. He also developed the first mechanistic model which predicts defoaming kinetics. More recently he has developed new techniques for…
